Quick Setup and USE

R100 OWNERS MANUAL

To get your system into operation quickly, use the following instructions. Review the rest of the manual for additional setup and operational details.

1.Place the receiver where there is a clear line of sight to the area where the transmitter will be used. Extend the receiver’s antennas to full length and separate them 90 degrees (see Figure 1).

2.Make sure the sound system’s volume is low or off on the input you intend to use for the wireless.

3.Plug in the receiver’s power adapter into an AC outlet and the other end into the receiver. CAUTION: Please make sure that the AC adapter is the correct voltage for your lo- cal requirements.

4.Plug one end of your audio cable (not sup- plied) into the output connector on the front panel of the receiver.

HTV HANDHELD TRANSMITTER SETUP

1.Insert battery. Slide open the battery com- partment cover by pressing lightly with your thumb on the horizontal grooves (at the back end of the transmitter) while gently pulling back (see Figure 2).

2.Turn on the transmitter by sliding the power switch (nearest the battery compartment) for- ward, toward the mic element. Both red and green LEDs above the power switch should be illuminated, indicating power on and good battery condition.

3.Check reception. Observe that the audio carrier light on the front panel of the receiver is illuminated, an indication that the receiver is picking up the signal. Then, “walk” the in- tended area of use and make sure that there are no barriers to reception or sources of in- terference.

4. Unmute the audio by sliding the audio switch (immediately below the mic element) towards the windscreen.

5.Adjust the gain if necessary. First, speak or sing into the microphone and listen closely for distortion or hiss. If the gain is too low (hiss)

5.Turn the output level control (see Figure 1) on the front panel to the 12:00 o’clock position (midway in the control’s range).

6.Setup and adjust the transmitter level as de- scribed on the following pages.

7.Turn up the level on the mixer or preamp to the desired setting.

8.Speak into the microphone or strum the instru- ment and, if necessary, adjust the receiver’s output until the volume level from the wireless system approximates the level of an equivalent wired microphone or instrument.

9.“Walk” the expected area of use to check for dropouts or interference. If problems occur, see the troubleshooting section.

or high (distortion), adjustments are neces- sary. Gently insert the provided screwdriver (or other 3/32-in. flat head screwdriver) into the hole near the head of the transmitter (see Figure 4). Turn lightly until the screwdriver tip drops into the slot in the level control. Gen- tly turn counterclockwise until the control stops (the mic output is attenuated but not “off”). Slowly turn the mic-level control while listening to the audio. If the audio becomes distorted, turn the mic level control counter- clockwise about 1/8 turn.

6.Adjust the squelch control if necessary. The squelch control on the back of the re- ceiver may be adjusted to increase range or reduce interference. Turn the control counter- clockwise to increase range. Caution! In- creasing the range will make the system more susceptible to outside interference! If the squelch is being adjusted, turn the transmitter off. Turn the squelch control counter-clockwise until you hear noise or in- terference. Then, turn the squelch clockwise until the noise is gone.
